I don't think Marquez is THAT underrated. Most people know how good/great he is/was. He was just on the short end of several fights that could have gone his way (Norwood, John, Pacquiao I-II-III).

If most people knew how great he really was, why did people pick Katsidis to beat him badly? Why did people pick Pacquiao to finish him in the 3rd fight? Why are people STILL picking Pacquiao to finish him?

Is it lack of respect or is it that most people don't know **** about boxing.

I think it's both.

Who was picking Katsidis to beat JMM? My beat would be the same people who were picking Foreman to beat Cotto
